1. I need to get a new car and stop getting my nails done...
God they look like crap after a week because my nails grow way too fast. I'm pretty simple right now....Oh and I need to go to sleep.

9. Primarily, de-stress!
Been under a tremendous amount of stress for the past 6 months -- more than I realized until this past weekend. Things won't get completely turned around right away, but once I figured out my state of mind/body/soul, I started being able to figure out what to do to START turning things around.

28. I can't do that
unless I want to spend all day in there, which I don't. I don't work so I'm home all day.

We gets days on end of 100° temps in summer.

Winter is pretty mild here so my heating bill isn't that bad.

19. Let's see...
1) Get some help for (or at least learn to accept/live with) the social anxiety disorder I'm about 95-percent sure I must have.
2) Stop worrying about the past and other things I can't change/have no control over.
3) Move out of my parent's house. (Well, and get out of this area, too, but I've got to take this a little at a time!)

22. I need to concentrate on my writing......
And I don't mean my DU stuff!

I would like to write seriously, and I need to develop the discipline needed to get there.....

And the same goes for my photography.......

*sigh*

Oh, yeah, and lose some more weight, too, while I'm at it......:shrug:

23. I need to do more yoga.
When I do yoga four or five days a week, I feel good and calm and centered. When I don't, I feel like I'm unravelling. :P
